Macaris

We have just had a really great week here. We stayed in suite 405 and had a lovely view of the pool and sea beyond. It was a one bedroom apartment, the bed was really comfortable but the sofa bed could be replaced. The pool is wonderful. The staff were all so lovely and friendly. It was a great location and not far from the old town which was wonderful. The Sky bar was a fabulous place to sit looking out over the sea.

We were a family of five who spent 12 nights at Macaris. We were all very happy with the stay. We rented an apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and living room, in addition to a large balcony. The apartment was large and contained everything we needed. The view from the balcony was great. You have free views of the sea and the sunset. The cleanliness was very good and the staff at the hotel were very friendly and service-friendly. There is a quiet atmosphere at the hotel and the location on the west side of the old town is excellent if one wants to avoid the loudest party venues. The hotel is within walking distance of the old town. The hotel offers a good and varied buffet breakfast. The pool area is clean and quiet, and the pool bar offers both snacks, ice cream and drinks. The bar which is open in the evening has a nice view over the ocean. The hotel also has its own restaurant, but this one we have not tried. The hotel service was also helpful in providing transportation to and from the airport. They also arranged a great birthday cake when our daughter had her birthday. This is a place we would love to come back to.

We have recently returned (husband, 2 daughters and boyfriend) from a fabulous 8 night stay at this perfectly located, idyllic hotel. Our 2 bedroom suite was stylish, spacious (especially the balcony!) and spotlessly clean, with the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. Being on the 6th floor, and having amazing, panoramic views of the sea, this hotel provided everything you could ever want for a wonderful, memorable holiday. The staff were always helpful and friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble - our daughter and boyfriend were given a free upgrade to a fabulous suite! The breakfast buffet offered a large selection of delicious hot and cold food: cereals, cold meats and cheeses, omlettes, bacon, sausages, boiled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, pastries, fruit - The list goes on! The delightful heated pool was always a treat to have a cool down dip, and the 'Sky Bar', amazing for an evening drink whilst watching the beautiful orange sun set, served a range of large, tasty meals at lunch time and evening - you may need to consider sharing as a we struggled to eat a starter and main course, and we all have extremely good appetites! My family and I all had fantastic, relaxing and professional massages that weren't ridiculously priced - I had a Thala massage which was basically a full body massage, for 72 euros (after introductory discount) and again, one of the best I've ever had. My daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed theirs so much they booked another session! Honestly, there aren't enough superlatives to describe this wonderful hotel and whilst being located just a 15 minute walk to the lovely old town of Rethymno, our holiday proved to be one of the best ever!!
